True of so many things in life -some ape always gets there first.
Beautiful work.

Yves

At first I thought he landed in the pool face down in an homage to Sunset Boulevard. But no.

Chris Sobieniak

That actually would’ve been quite a shocking end right there!

Doug

Watching I wasn’t quite sure what happened at the end. I was left confused.

Dee

So, Topper was the chimp?

Norm

This is an excellent morale building film for chimps.

The Gee

Wow. That thought never crossed my mind. Though, now that Norm mentions it there might be an empowering aspect to the fact that the chimp wasn’t a cliched sidekick and beat the main character to the rocket.

(he could still learn a thing or two about sharing though)

On a semi-serious note, wasn’t the entire cartoon about a kid who was daydreaming after having watched a tv show?

True, it is odd that he fantasizes about a monkey taking the spaceship he wanted but…okay, that is just weird…..why would he fantasize about all that and lose to a monkey?

Oh well, all in all it is a good cartoon. Pulls ya in and leaves ya wondering…..

David Breneman

I was waiting for Roland Young to show up in this, but he never appeared.

I really loved this short from beginning to end. Especially that end, It kinda resonated with me a bit because we all have a time in our lives where we fall short of a dream and have seek solace in unconventional ways. So beautifully human and touching, I hope to see more work of BenoÃ®t Daffis in the future! The sound was also magnificent- very well tailored.
